We grilled these on our indore grill.  Boy did they turn out grate!!!  I liked the bacon around the burgers.  I used pork instead of beef.
If I don't have to work we are planning on going to the ocean on the 14 of this month.  I love going there.  Looking forward to Jewls coming home.  The last time I saw her was at Christmas.
Because of the hours at work some folks have quit.  I am hanging in there because I still feel that I am where I am supposed to be.
